CNN's National Security Analyst weighs in on Trump's "plan" to fight terrorism:

Peter Bergen posted:

For Trump's plan to work, you would somehow have to wind the clock back a half-century and ban immigration from all Muslim countries until now. Since even Trump doesn't claim he can reverse time, his proposal for a temporary ban is fatuous.

It's the sort of idea that your opinionated and tiresome uncle who always has the "easy" answer to every difficult problem trots out at Thanksgiving dinner and everyone ignores because it's clearly just dumb.

Someone summed it up pretty well before by saying, yeah he's banned Univision but even then he caught hell for it (mitigated by the press blowing him daily of course)

But not even Nixon blocked access to the Washington Post

I wonder if he realizes that he's waiving his only leverage he has to get them to be nice to him when he does these things

Most gay nightclubs are filled with straight people too now, but old people probably don't know that or accept it.

"Straights hanging out with gays, and on the gays' terms? Bah!"

Before it sort of burned down (no malfeasance suspected) the local gay bar was goddamn packed as practically the only good dance club in town. :v:

I've always found gay clubs to be way more fun and just an overall better atmosphere than straight clubs.

I'm sure stuff has changed a lot over the last decade, but 10 years ago when I first started to going to any clubs, straight clubs were always filled with the frat-boy douche boy-esque "Eww icky gays. I go to clubs to get pussy" types. Gay clubs were more of a safe haven.

so about the russians hacking into the dnc and stealing the trump oppo research. what's to stop them from handing it over to trump and giving him the ability to come up with counters to everything the clinton campaign is planning? i haven't seen much talk being done about this but i have a feeling it's something worth bringing up.

Trump will slip and acknowledge that he got it from the Russians, resulting in an international incident. Officially, Russia does not attempt to hack. Nor does the US, nor China, nor... Well, I think North Korea is pretty out and out with it.

I'm sure manafort is trying with his old pals, and im also sure trump would throw it in the garbage because he cant have people working under him knowing lovely things he's done.

I'm half joking, but the reports of inside the campaign are insane enough to believe it.

because i am pretty sure either A: its already happened and B: if it were revealed that trump was pulling a russian digital Watergate break in, he would be hosed.

not over til it's over

quote:

Conservative donor John Kingston will act as chairman of Better for America, which says it will have the framework in place for the late entrance of an independent candidate into the general election.
...
Pollster Joel Searby and conservative lawyers Mohammad Jazil and Matthew Sawyer are also on the team. Sawyer notably served as general council to Ross Perot’s Reform Party bid in 1996, in which he took 8 percent of the vote.
...
Deadlines to make the ballot in Texas, South Dakota and North Carolina have already passed. Deadlines in Illinois, Indiana and New Mexico come at the end of the month and require between 15,000 and 25,000 signatures.

Better for America claims it can legally challenge those deadlines and obtain extensions.

Can't develop counters to what he hasn't yet done, and that's not even factoring in the stuff he's done where there IS no counter, like the high speed flip-flopping and the Stern tapes

If they do it, they'll have to do so clandestinely because Trump would probably fire and ruin anybody found with a huge folder of dirt on him.
